More information from phoenyx:
"Hi Sandy,

We?ve managed to find what was causing the behaviour of packets being received on the source interface to occur; however, we do still have a concern that the behaviour was only present on the OSA card.

We had a device on the network that was attempting to ping the firewall gateways on each VLAN ? Which were configured to drop ICMP packets. This was causing the network to have a solid number of broadcast packets being sent out on each VLAN (2 per second, per VLAN).

The firewalls have been reconfigured to accept ICMP traffic, and now that the broadcast packets are not being sent out, the OSA is working exactly as expected.

However, the OSA cards were the only ones to display issues while this was occurring, all other NICs were functioning despite this network traffic (x86, RoCE, etc)? And we are not sure why only the OSA was displaying that behaviour. Would you happen to have any insights on this at all?

Many thanks,
Nyx"
